I have to interrupt our meditations on Holy Mass, because I have to inform you I was not feeling well a few days ago and got a positive test for COVID-19 I got two tests, the first on Saturday 15, which came negative; but Sunday morning I didn’t feel very well, so I got tested another test before masses. Unfortunately, I tested positive. I am feeling basically okay, and with no fever. I am quarantining at the rectory for the next 5 days, and the office is closed during these days. God willing, next week I’ll be back. Thankfully we keep the schedule of masses, priests who has not been exposed are replacing me...
The Holy Name Society has requested that the 9:30 a.m. Mass be offered for the repose of the soul of Matthew Peter Creamer. Matt was a longtime member of the HNS and a frequent retreatant with our September at Loyola on the Potomac. Matt passed away on December 9, 2021 in Berlin, Maryland. He is survived by Spouse Nicki Creamer and children Sean, Christopher and Sara. Please help us support Matt's family by attending a short reception (coffee and donuts) downstairs in the Hughes Room following Mass.
